Billy Mays, a popular spokesperson who rose to fame during the 90s and 2000s with his infomercials for products like OxiClean, Orange Clean, Orange Glo, and Kaboom, is a name that sparks instant recognition.
Earlier, Billy Mays III, the son of the late infomercial icon, used Twitter to share a tantalizing anecdote about his father. He revealed that his dad had once been on the cusp of featuring on WWE TV.
Mays III was responding to a tweet from a fan who wished that his father had guest-hosted RAW, a popular WWE program. His response set the Twitter thread buzzing,
“Just imagine how close we came to realizing a moment like this! Somewhere during the attitude era, OxiClean contemplated sponsoring WWF and what I overheard was a plan for my dad to show up on Raw or a PPV with the mission to “clean blood off the ring mat.” Can you comprehend how thrilled my younger self in middle school was envisioning this right in front of me?”
